Treasurer Scott Morrison said today it was temporary migration driving population growth up, so the government had tightened controls on 457 visas and extended the waiting list time for migrants to be able to claim welfare.

I recommend to follow what you did for your 489 visa if that is what you are currently having now. If your 489 had parents details , then you will need to match it.
But if you did declare in form 80, then you will need to match it up.
For myself, I just declare anyway from my very abstract logic, for the home affairs to monitor my family movement in case they try to cross the "Mexican wall"
To update your 887 application details, best to fill in notification of incorrect answers under immi account/ update details.
But good question. Why do we need to have parents details anyway?

I hate filling in those forms !
Go to your immi account à update details. See if there is an online version of it. It is a lot shorter and lesser stuff to fill in.
Bridging Visa for 887 is like visa 489 plus size minus the headphone jack
Once you have bridging, you will have some difficulty travelling oversea. All you get is a medicare card. Other condition remains.
Notice of incorrect Answers
I know there are 2 ways to do it. The form and online. The most error free ways should be in your immi account/update details/ notice of incorrect answers. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/applying-online-or-on-paper/online ﻿
Parents appearing in health assessment Immi account
Family Unit ....... Family members......family unit...... Family members..... Riddle me this
In the 887 application and reference to form 1497i
Accompanying / non-accompanying Family unit = Spouse and child
Other family members = brothers, sisters, mistress, father, mother
Now you understand, go and prepare a notification of incorrect answers.
If you make your CO life difficult your LIFE will be back logged
If you name your files like "%2467.pdf" or "14Nov2018.pdf", and the CO look at it, it will definitely be stash under the table. But I think the CO has stash too many that the processing period is getting longer and longer. Give it clear names like "Bank statement january.pdf"or "Marriage Cert.pdf". Also if your competitor has more documents uploaded than you do, Your life will be backlogged.
My Baby look different from the passport!!!
1. Download the form from this link https://www.australia.gov.au/information-and-services/public-safety-and-law/statutory-declarations
2. Select a few your baby's photos (4x6cm) from the passport date to the medical exam date then stick them at the form's footer.
3. Get support from someone (not your relatives) to fill the form and do JP it.
4. Example of the declare's content: "The passport's photo and the rest of other photographed are of the same child <your child full name> <DOB> <Address>".
5. This is actually for the 501 medical but I advise to submit it even before it is call up to save time.
I want to go for holiday as my bridging Visa has not kick in.
Do you want to wait for 3 more months?
I am reluctant to submit a document due to “ (enter your reason)”
When everybody got their 887….. (backstreet boys - show me the meaning of being lonely….)
Do I need to submit form 1221, F80, spouse English, oversea AFP, Local AFP?
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes..... now take a deep breath and repeat that 100 more times.
Can I have new friends?
You can have new friends unless they are going to become your wife, facebook friend, tinder mate or you intend to kidnapped …cough cough….. adopt a child. Please do it after you get your 887.
My Agent told me not to submit
So far 3 to 4 cases I can think of agent's decision is wrong.
Proof of residency****
At least 2 types, Rental and bank statement showing expenditure for 2 years. Print and show it to us too. ^_^
Proof of employment****
salary and employment letter, Superannuation statement, Tax document, notice of assessment
Spouse English
Get your University to write a letter as university course materials might not be recognize by Australia.
Relationship with Spouse
Marriage cert is not enough, need to prove continuing relationship

Hi Kevin, could you run through step by step how all this adds up? eg.
Step 1: stay for 2 years
Step 2:......
Step 3:......
When I got my bridging visa notice from home affairs, it states it wouldnt kick in until 489 expires. Unless your friend got a different notice on bridging visa.

B L G W J O B S !!!!!!
Now I got your attention. Before you fill in any of those looooooong forms...…. change of circumstances, details, notice of incorrect answers...… please check in your immi account/ update details if there is a similar one. The online version should be a lot shorter in there.

The Trolls of Visa 887
I work 2 hours a week and sometimes 3 hours on Friday and sometimes 30 mins on Monday.
I have no payslips but I work full time 8-5pm.
I live in my friends house, eat for free and use the water and electricity for free. I have no proof of living.
My only bank expenditure is visiting Honey Hand massage every Friday. Can I use that as proof of living?
I gave birth on the airplane while on bridging visa.
I work with my friend for free. But I still get a payslip at $0. I am Steve Job. CO ask me to provide more proof of work.
My agent advise I should not go on holiday while on 15 month waiting and bridging but I am going anyway. However I just got a call from my CO asking me to come back. Should I complaint?
I have been waiting for 7 months. Maybe I should try to complain.
I have no proof of living as I slept on a bench in the park. I work a different job every 2 months. I do not contribute to super as my salary is so low. I don’t think I have enough food for tomorrow. I have difficulty breathing now.
I have 5 wives, there aren’t enough room in form 80 for all of them. CO has requested that I can only pick one. What should I do?
